Legislation would allow wider sales of raw milk

 AUSTIN — Before they can gulp a glass of fresh raw milk, most Texans must do something else first — take a road trip. That could change with legislation that would open more avenues for consumers who prefer to buy the raw version of cow or goat milk. Unpasteurized, or raw, milk can be sold only at the licensed dairy where it is produced. There are about 50 raw milk dairies in Texas, including one in Collin County and another near Greenville that draws dozens of visitors from Dallas. A proposal by Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Van, would allow it to be sold at farmers markets and fairs and delivered to homes.
